About

Transce3nd LLC (marketed as e3 Wealth) works with a broad client mix including individuals (both non‑HNW and high net worth), foundations, trusts, estates, employer‑sponsored retirement plans, charitable organizations and institutions. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting and standalone consulting, and also sponsors a wrap fee program administered through a third‑party platform.

The firm’s investment process centers on strategic asset allocation informed by fundamental, technical and quantitative analysis, and it commonly implements portfolios through third‑party model and money managers via AE Wealth Management’s platform and model manager programs. Transce3nd uses tools such as the Nitrogen risk‑profiling technology, monitors managers for style drift and turnover, and may include structured products, REITs and private investments where suitable.

Transce3nd’s brochure discloses several uncommon affiliations and practices for a multi‑team firm: it operates an affiliated insurance agency (e3 Wealth) and affiliated tax/preparation entities (e3 Tax/APU Partners), works with an insurance IMO (Advisors Excel), and sponsors its own wrap program through AEWM. The firm also highlights marketing activities such as seminars and acceptance of marketing‑expense reimbursements and, per disclosure materials, the use of testimonials in advertising, and it reports serving insurance company clients—each of which is less common among peers.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
